Why just nurses, TWR, what about all the doctors and all the support straff, too? - all other benefits in the NHS for employees come out of our pay, so why not do what happens elsewhere, give them free parking but give it as a taxable benefit on our payslips.... anything would be better than than £10 a day at our local acute hospital. At MIU it's £2 for up to 2 hours, which is much more reasonable (and tbh around the same as we pay in our local shopping car parks).
I certainly believe it should be controlled as a department in the hospital itself, and not farmed out to local/national parking companies.
